About Raivavae Airport
Raivavae Airport is the main air gateway to the island of Raivavae, one of the Austral Islands in French Polynesia. It provides essential domestic connections for local residents and visitors traveling to and from this remote part of the South Pacific.
The airport operates a single asphalt runway measuring about 1,400 metres and a compact passenger terminal that handles both arriving and departing domestic flights. Air Tahiti operates scheduled services linking Raivavae with Papeete, Rurutu and Tubuai.
Located in the south of the island, the airport is approximately 10 minutes by car from the main villages, including Rairua and Anatonu. There is no regular shuttle service, so most travelers continue by private transfer, taxi or rental car.
Despite its small size, the airport plays an important role in keeping the island connected, supporting tourism and making guesthouses, villages and coastal areas accessible to visitors.
